We woke up on Sunday morning and bummed around the cabin for a while. Rea's Girl Scout troop was around, making interesting and creative breakfasts on the grills. After we collected Rea and packed up the cars, we were Hollywood bound!

Well, Hollywood Studios anyway. I had reserved FastPasses for Rock 'n' Roller Coaster and Tower of Terror. Rea wanted to ride the roller coaster - it's her favorite. Buddy was on a high from his thrill experiences the day before. He decided it was time to try the Tower of Terror.

It's a simple drive from Ft Wilderness to Hollywood Studios. Buddy wanted to ride a bus, and we could have done that. But I didn't want to have to wait for a bus after the Park. It was going to be much easier to just get it in the car and drive home. After 3 days in the Disney Parks, Mommy is more interested in efficiency than making dreams come true.

Plus, we had already ridden a Disney bus on Friday. Twice. Dream came true then. I'm not a heartless animal (despite what you may have heard).

Bud's second favorite form of Disney transportation is the parking lot tram.

Seriously.

We arrived a little earlier than I had planned, so we decided to check out the line for the Great Movie Ride.

The wait was about 30 minutes. Perfect.

This ride has changed a little. At least they changed the memorabilia in the "museum" part. And when you make it into the theater, the behind the scenes show is different than before. I like this ride. I LOVE movies. And I LOVE just about anything with air conditioning at Disney.

Once that was over, we headed off for the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster. Buddy is about 3" too short for it. Jackie took one for the team and sat this one out. We met up with them in the gift shop. Rea and Meghan wanted to wait for the front two rows.

I am not sure what Disney was doing this past weekend, but their estimated wait times were WAY off for a few rides. Take this one, the APP and the kiosk at the entrance said "70 minute wait." No way, I've waited that long before. There was hardly a line at all. I asked the lady who rode next to me (she was stand by, not FastPass), she said she could not have waited more than 10 minutes to get on. I am wondering if Disney was trying to move crowds of people around.

Finally, Buddy's time had come.

We all got in the FastPass line for the Tower of Terror. He was so excited, he was running in front of us to get on. I am honestly not sure what I was expecting. I told him it would be dark and he would scream a lot, like the Dinosaur ride. And it would make his tummy feel funny, like the big drop on Splash Mountain. That was enough to satisfy him.

Until he watched the Twilight Zone video in the first room. The nerves increased as we walked into the boiler room. Jackie and Meghan took him and walked ahead of me and Rea. I like this ride, but it scares the crap out of me. There is no way for me to pretend it doesn't. It's a fun scare - and I will continue to subject myself to it. But it's scary.

My kids go to bed every night between 7 and 8pm. Pretty much without exception. The only time we blow off bedtime is on vacation (and honestly, not even then sometimes). As I told you before, Rea stayed up till nearly midnight on Friday AND Saturday. So, combine the lack of sleep with serious nerves and you get one incredibly UNHAPPY girl.

She started crying during the Twilight Zone video. I could tell she was trying to hide her cries from Buddy and her aunts, but she was crying. It only got worse as we walked through the boiler room. By the time we got to our elevator, she was in hysterics. She has ridden it twice before, so I was honestly a little taken back by the fact that she was balling now. I told the hotel staff that she had a bit of buyer's remorse. They walked us out to the exit. I was told that when our party came down, up to 3 of us could ride it again with me.

Buddy loved it! I was expecting to hear him crying (like when Rea rode it the first time), but he walked off the elevator yapping to Jackie and Meghan. He laughed and said his heart felt like it was going to explode. He said he would totally do it again, but he didn't want to ride it right away with me. He wanted his "heart to stop beating first."

Meghan rode it with me. It was every bit as thrilling as I was expecting.

After this, it was definitely time to leave. Rea was crying when I got off the ride. She said she wanted her Daddy. *eye roll* I love Stu, and he is a great father, but come on, having him there would not have made things more calm.
